Art Makes Happy Your Heart

 Art Makes Happy Your Heart 

~by Priya Jyoti

Art makes you feel alive.

Love, anger, happiness, hatred, enthusiasm, curiosity, and many more emotions are put together to become an artist. An artist is someone who finds light in the darkness, hope in despair, and the true meaning of life. Art is not something for fun only; it is a universe of emotions. Without art, the world would not be a better place to live. I think nature is the master of all artists, and no one would disagree with that. It is a collective thing that comes from imagination, ideas, colours,  love, expression, emotional power, etc. There is no single definition and meaning of art or an artist, and this is the beauty of these words. Every person understands this in their own way and how they feel about being an artist or judging art. A layman  understands art as paintings or  sculptures, but there are far more than that. It is everything that has a perspective, meaning, message, expression, colour, a sense of  comfort or endurance, positivity or  negativity, laughter or tears.  

Painters, poets, sculptors, photographers, actors, musicians,  graphic designers, etc. are all  considered artists, and we have  great exemplars to see artists and  art in different ways. Each one of  they have their own ability to mend  and bend their art to create  something that tells a story. To  cherish art and artists, World Art The day is celebrated on the 15th of  April. 

The world is not unfamiliar with  names like Leonardo da Vinci. He  is the one who is behind the  masterpiece painting, Mona Lisa. Pablo Ruiz Picasso, and Edvard Munch, whose painting "The Scream" is highly recognised and appreciated all over the world. It’s an endeavour to extract the true meaning out of some words or lines, and we have great exemplars in history who inspire us each day to feel and write what we want to share with the world. William  Shakespeare, Pablo Neruda, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia  Plath, etc., have been wonderful poets who saw nature and its creatures in a magical way and shared their fantasies with the world. 
If one wants to shine one’s pupil, then there are lots of sculptures in India to visit and let themselves wonder about the fine carving and moulding by great sculptors. The  Qutub Minar, the tallest stone tower in India, is a sight to behold. The exquisite inscription and carving are mesmerising to the eye. The Akshardham temple is an addition to the masterpieces of Indian sculptures of rock and stone and has everything to make your eyes shine. The temple covers a huge area and it has hundreds of elephant statues, carved pillars, statue idols, and nine domes. India's fine ancient art will undoubtedly astound you. 

Studies have found that where medicines fail, art saves. It makes you feel alive and pampers your soul. Ask a dancer how he/she thinks while dancing and what they feel if they are stopped to do the same. What if colours are snatched from a painter’s brush and what if a writer is not able to write? It all creates discomfort, boredom, and sometimes no reason to live. Yes, art is a massive part of an artist’s life that can’t be defined or put into the world. Art is more to feel than to say; it can only be shared.
